Michèle Barbier was born in Algeria and came to France in 1962. She studied in France and Sweden, and while teaching in Sweden, met Josephine Baker and became her personal secretary. She became a singer, actress and wrote plays performed between 1973 and 1978 - then performed again starting in 2009.

Michèle was hired as a presenter for Circus Schreiber (Swedish) in 1974 and with Adolph Lauenburger, a German animal trainer, directed Cirque Aréna (1976- 1981). (Lauenburger created the Festival Carolingen de St Philbert de Grandlieu in 1978. She subsequently worked for France 2 with Bernard Langlois (émission Résistances).

In 1984 she created the Gala de la Press in which journalists and presenters from all fields prepared a circus show, modeled after the l'Union des Artistes and Gala des Grands Ecoles, to render a festive homage to different humanitarian causes each year, attracting viewers attention to their activities. Many important charitable organizations benefited. Michèlè has written several books and plays and received several awards. Her latest novel is "the circus" (Editions Riveneuvre), released in January 2011.

PATRICIA'S PARIS
Cool Jazz Venue In The Marais - A Breath Of Fresh Air. Thank You Patricia Myers

La Cav du 38 Riv (www.38riv.com, 01.48.87.56.30) is a relative newcomer to the vibrant Paris jazz scene, opened in 2007 by Vincent Charbonnier, a jazz fan and bassist for 20 years.  This sub-sub-subterranean club (3 flights down) is in the heart of the Marais at 38 rue Rivoli (M: Hotel de Ville or St. Paul). Jam sessions start at  8:30 p.m. Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays ( free entry); concerts are scheduled on Tuesdays and Fridays (occasional variations to this schedule, closed in August, reopening Sept. 1). The jams, led by French jazz pianist Julien Cloriatt, are popular with young musicians, who last Monday demonstrated high-level creativity and proficiency. One set featured a Japanese pianist, Serbian bassist and three French  saxophonists and drummer. The cave has air-conditioning with in rows of folding chairs, on couchs in a  small side room, and an ajacent bar area with high stools and closed-circuit flat-screen TV of the action; the menu offers
 wine, beer, liquor and sandwiches.  -- by Patricia Myers (www.allaboutjazz.com)
